SF Patch #1586467 from Benjamin Moody - floppusmaximus
"Currently if a plugin creates a multi-line, non-HTML
string preference, i.e. a GaimPluginPref with type
GAIM_PLUGIN_PREF_STRING_FORMAT and format-type
GAIM_STRING_FORMAT_TYPE_MULTILINE, the resulting widget
is extremely narrow and impossible to use.
This is because the widget is packed into an hbox
without allowing expansion (expand = fill = FALSE.) If
HTML is enabled, the presence of the format bar forces
the widget to be wide enough to be usable. Disabling
HTML causes the format bar to be removed, so the widget
is set to the minimum allowed size."

This file describes how to compile and run gaim with dbus support. Hopefully, most of the steps from point 3 will soon be automated. 1. Make sure you have the latest version (0.34) of the dbus library installed, including glib bindings. http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus 2. Compile gaim ./configure --enable-dbus make make install 3. Configure your dbus instalation for gaim A. Find your dbus session configuration file, usually /etc/dbus-1/session.conf B. In that file, find the <servicedir> section. This section contains the directory that stores files describing services, usually /usr/share/dbus-1/services C. Copy src/dbus-gaim.service to that directory D. Edit the dbus-gaim.service file you've just copied, and replace the path in the "Exec=" line with the path to your gaim executable. 4. Start Session DBUS if you haven't done it already eval `dbus-launch --session` export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID These commands will set the two above shell variables. These variables must be set before running any dbus-aware programs. Start gaim as usual. To communicate with it, use "gaim-send". When you execute gaim-send, the dbus system will automatically start a gaim process if one is not running already.
